Government of IndiaMDM-PAB Meeting – Delhi

on 4.4.2014

Review of Implementation of MDMS in Delhi(Primary + Upper Primary)

(1.4.2013 to 31.12.2013)

Ministry of HRD, Govt. of India

Issues

Coordination amongst different departments/organizations – DOE, MCDs, NDMC and DCB.

No record/document provided by the Centralized Kitchen to JRM / Inspection team.

No information on utilization of funds towards use of LPG cylinders. Correct data on engagement of Cook-cum-helpers against PAB approval. Cook-cum-helpers are not engaged as per the norms in schools (M I report). Coverage of children is going down consistently. 62% of enrolled children

availed meal in 2013-14. Out of a sample of 498 children, 51.6% were malnourished (JRM). About 65% of the children informed that quantity of food served was not

sufficient (M I report).

Issues

Negative balance of foodgrains with Centralized Kitchens. Difference in the number of children availed MDM as shown in

register vis-à-vis head count in the range of 6% – 16% (M I report).

85% schools prepared meal card on attendance basis rather than actual consumption (M I report).

Data entry has not been completed for annual and monthly data in MDM-MIS. (only 68% annual data entry and 60% monthly data entry). Major problem of data entry is in DOE schools.

Issues

Health checkup has been done for only 60% of the enrolled children, vitamin A dosage distributed to only 52% children and De-worming tablets have been distributed to only 31% children.

Non display of MDM logo and entitlements. Almost nil community participation in the scheme as per the

available records and teachers perception (Review Mission).

Children not happy with the quality of food (especially halwa/channa)

Food helping is also inadequate
